Page 39: Docking Cradles
The vehicle docking cradle uses a 12V cigarette lighter adapter or a bare wire 12-48V power supply to transfer power to the internal charging circuitry of the MX6 and, in turn, the MX6 recharges the Main Battery. A powered vehicle docking cradle gives the MX6 the ability to communicate with a host computer and other equipment. -
